Thanksgiving/Megan's Birthday

When your birthday is on November 24th, sooner or later it's going to fall on Thanksgiving Day. And that's what happened this year for our Megan. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal with turkey and the usual sides and yummy desserts. Since Megan already had a big birthday cake at her party she decided that we should make a cookie cake for Thanksgiving. We opened gifts while we were preparing our side dishes. We started with Aunt Carol's.

 Megan loved her Ariel Barbie!

 I think the Furreal cat was Megan's favorite. She named her Snowball.

 Little Makena was a big helper in the Thanksgiving hat she made at preschool.

 Then it was off to G-Dada's house for dinner. Megan had to open their gifts right away.

G-Dada and Patty got Megan an American Girl doll! What a nice gift! I made sure to tell Megan how important it is to take care of her new doll. We're glad G-Dada and Patty wanted to start this because I don't know when I would have done it. They are definitely not cheap! They had gotten an American Girl catalog in the mail and let Megan design her own doll.

 She even got a horse to go with her little cowgirl! She was so happy!

 And this little turkey loved the cookie cake. He was covered in red icing!
